A red 225 year old copper coin would be silently screaming "I'm fake" to my eyes!

First things first - correctly index your pictures. It's a bit difficult to see exact details otherwise.......

With that being established your coin is a fake - the fonts are all wrong.

I don't have expertise in these early large cents - but a Red coin 223 years later is an instant alarm bell for authenticity.

I'm going to ask a moderator to move this thread to a more appropriate forum for better visibility.

All you have to do is look at the date to tell it is counterfeit.

That's a great question to ask. As mentioned, finding any red early copper is extremely unlikely. Even red-browns are challenging. Those that exist, particularly the ones for sale, appear at the traditional auction houses (not ebay) and sell accordingly. Which is not to say this one is "bad", only that it's a replica as a modern representation of the classic design. Under $10 would be a conservative value.
